Note: For Lightroom, nothing needs to be copied, just follow the instructions in the user guide for Adding DFT to Lightroom as an External Editor.

Macintosh Manual InstallWe use Apple's Spotlight feature to find the host applications that we install into and, on occasion, the Spotlight index becomes corrupt. The Spotlight index can be rebuilt by:

From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.

Click Spotlight.

Click the Privacy tab.

Drag a folder or even an entire volume (your hard drive) to the list.

Remove the item or volume you just added.

Spotlight will re-index the contents of the item you initially dragged to the list and may take a bit of time to complete. After re-indexing is complete, run the DFT installer again and your host application should be found. If your host application is still not found, follow the instructions below.

Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Photoshop Lightroom

Run the DFT installer.

If no applications are displayed when you get to the Select Components screen, proceed by clicking Next and then Install. By default, this will install all necessary components.

Navigate to the DFT installation location at Applications/Digital Film Tools.

Copy the DFT folder to the host application's plug-ins folder. The location will change depending on the version of the host application.
